493991 divided by 83 
We want to divide 493991 by 83.

Step 1:
83 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 83

Advancing to step 2:
49 divided by 83 is 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 493 / 83

Let's proceed to step 3:
83 can be fit into 493 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 415 from 493 leaves us with 78.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 78, then repeat: 789 / 83

Step 4:
83 goes into 789 9 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 747 away from 789, we end up with 42.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 429 / 83

Let's proceed to step 5:
83 can be fit into 429 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 595.0
Subtracting 415 from 429 leaves us with 14.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 141 / 83

On to step 6:
83 can be fit into 141 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5951.0
Subtract 83 from 141 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 7:
580 divided by 83 is 6 with a remainder of 82.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5951.6
If we take 498 away from 580, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
83 can be fit into 820 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5951.69
Deduct 747 from 820 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 730 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 66.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5951.698
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 664 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 83 fits into 660 7 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5951.6987
If we take 581 away from 660, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 11:
83 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5951.69879
Subtracting 747 from 790 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
430 divided by 83 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5951.698795
Deduct 415 from 430 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
83 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5951.6987951
If we take 83 away from 150, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 670 by 83, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5951.69879518
Subtracting 664 from 670 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5951.69879518 and a remainder of 6e-09.
